From the upcoming chapter of ascension:

Spying Rook near the riverbed, he wanders over, folding his arms across his chest. “Has the Arisen made an appearance yet?”

“Are you not always saying, ‘we must not hurry the Arisen’?” Rook picks up a fairly flat and smooth rock and flicks his wrist. The rock skips one, two, three times and then splashes beneath the surface.

“True indeed. I just find it unusual that she has not returned.”

Rook bends down, scooping up two more rocks. He offers one to Killian. “Do you believe the Arisen to be in danger?”

“I suppose not.” Killian takes the offered stone and attempts to imitate Rook’s wrist movement. His rock sinks straight into the water. No skipping.

“She gave us our charge. It’s best we abide by it.” This time his rock skips five times and almost reaches the other side of the riverbed.

“Right. Of course,” Killian says. But he grasps the strap over his shoulder and makes his way up the hill and further into town.
